Are you a better coach because you took a weekend course, or did you just buy a $300 piece of paper to keep your license active? In this episode of Beyond The Pump, we take aim at the "Continuing Education" (CEU) racket in the fitness industry. We break down why the barrier to entry for personal training is terrifyingly low, how massive certification bodies use CEUs as a disguised subscription model, and how to spot a predatory course before you hand over your credit card. We also share a shocking story about a customer service rep passing a "DNA-Based Coaching" exam without ever reading the material, and why you should never buy a certification for something that hasn't been clinically proven for at least five years. Listen now to stop wasting your money on useless letters behind your name and start actually building your coaching skills. Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/officialhcsa/
